Richie Scarlet, the "Emperor of Rock and Roll"

Exclusively distributed by URP Music Distributors

Formerly with Ace Frehley's Comet, Mountain, Sebastian Bach, Alice Cooper Group and many others.

Known as the ”Emperor of Rock n Roll” and the “Wise Guy from NYC”, Richie Scarlet has toured and performed with rock legends like Ace Frehley, Mountain and Sebastian Bach. Now Scarlet has unleashed himself on his latest solo album titled, “I Plead The Fifth”.

Available soon on Limited Edition RED VINYL, it includes all the same well-crafted tracks as the CD release. Featuring the hit single “Without Your Love”, which is currently enjoying increased rotation on broadcast and internet radio stations across the U.S. and beyond.

The album and the artist have been featured by Eddie Trunk on his XM satellite radio show. Critical acclaim has also come from Jeb Wright at ClassicRockRevisted.com calling it a “killer slab of rock and roll”. Recently “I Plead The Fifth” has been selected as one of the top 10 albums of 2012 by HardRockHaven.com, a list that included artists like Van Halen, LA Guns and KISS.

Played with power and passion from start to finish, this album boasts guest musicians like Dez Cadena (MISFITS), Ron ”Bumblefoot” Thal (GUNS N ROSES) and Dennis Dunaway (ALICE COOPER). The songs all show a range of emotion and the production is somehow smooth and heavy all at the same time. This is the genius of Richie Scarlet.
